2012 All Star Game & HR Derby - Recap

USBA members,
 
What a great weekend it was full of countless home runs, good food and an amazing game.  As the sun was beating down hard on all the players in the home run derby our guys managed to keep pounding them out of the yard. 
 
We had many  guys competing for that grand prize of Home Run Champ and it was a close race with Mustafa Hashimi and Shawn Brown making it to the final 2.  It was a battle with Mustafa coming out on top and being crowned HR Derby Champ. 
 
Congrats Mustafa.  I'm sure that Cleveland hopes that you continue that production.
 
As the All Stars began to pile in it was to be a battle that nobody thought would even be close.  Everyone thought that Teir 1 players would crush the Teir 2 team but nobody told that to the Teir 2 guys.  With the Teir 1 taking a commanding lead only to have Teir 2 come back and nearly win the game.  With the final score being 26-22 it was a tight affair.
 
Thanks for everyone coming out and supporting the day and we hope that everyone had a great time.
 
Sincerely,
USBA Committee

Dear USBA Players,

We would like to congratulate the players from your team that have been selected to the all star festivities. It is always a tough choice to select players as every team has many players they feel should qualify.

We have selected the top 10 players from each tier by way of AVG SLG% HITS and overall performance. The remaining players will be selected from the teams not yet represented.

Please let us know that the players from your team will be attending by Thursday evening.

We hope you will all come out and enjoy the day.

Sincerely,
USBA Committee
